Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un flan ou découpe pour la réalisation d'une structure de maintien et de préhension d'au moins deux nappes superposées de récipients respectivement reliés les uns aux autres en partie supérieure de chacune desdites nappes, ainsi qu'une telle structure de maintien et de préhension.The present invention relates to a blank or cutout for producing a structure for holding and gripping at least two superposed layers of containers respectively connected to each other in the upper part of each of said layers, as well as such a structure support and grip.
Elle trouve une application particulièrement importante bien que non exclusive dans le domaine de l'emballage de deux nappes de pots de yaourts ou produits alimentaires du même type, lesdits pots de yaourts étant reliés entre eux via leurs collerettes supérieures en matière plastique rigide.It finds a particularly important although not exclusive application in the field of packaging two layers of yoghurt pots or food products of the same type, said yoghurt pots being interconnected via their upper flanges made of rigid plastic.
On connaît déjà des structures de maintien et de préhension de nappes de pots de yaourts ou équivalents.Structures for holding and gripping layers of yoghurt pots or the like are already known.
Par exemple une structure connue est constituée par un flan ou découpe en forme de bande en matière cartonnée qui enveloppe les pots en présentant une pliure à chaque changement de direction autour des bords de nappes de pots.For example, a known structure is constituted by a blank or cut in the form of a strip of cardboard material which envelops the pots with a fold at each change of direction around the edges of the sheets of pots.
De telles structures présentent des inconvénients .Such structures have drawbacks.
En effet elles n'autorisent pas la préhension facile ou le maintien solide de nappes superposées comprenant un grand nombre de pots de yaourts (par exemple deux nappes de douze pots chacune).Indeed, they do not allow easy gripping or solid maintenance of superimposed layers comprising a large number of yoghurt pots (for example two layers of twelve pots each).
De plus, la réalisation de chaque flan nécessite pour une telle structure une consommation importante de matériau, en général du carton ondulé ou une matière en feuille analogue.In addition, the production of each blank requires for such a structure consumption material, usually corrugated cardboard or similar sheet material.
La présente invention vise à fournir un flan et une structure de maintien et de préhension d'au moins deux nappes superposées de récipients tels que des pots de yaourts répondant mieux que ceux antérieurement connus aux exigences de la pratique notamment en ce qu'elle permet un maintien solide et une préhension aisée de deux ou plusieurs nappes de récipients superposés, chaque nappe pouvant comporter un grand nombre de récipient, pour une consommation en matériau d'emballage minimisée et donc un coût optimisé.The present invention aims to provide a blank and a structure for holding and gripping at least two superimposed layers of containers such as yoghurt pots which respond better than those previously known to the requirements of practice in particular in that it allows a solid hold and easy gripping of two or more layers of stacked containers, each layer possibly comprising a large number of containers, for consumption of packaging material minimized and therefore cost optimized.
La présentation de l'emballage est agréable et autorise le marquage sur les surfaces latérales de ce dernier.The presentation of the packaging is pleasant and allows the marking on the side surfaces of the latter.
Dans ce but, la présente invention propose essentiellement un flan en feuille de carton ou carton ondulé pour la réalisation d'une structure de maintien et de préhension d'au moins deux nappes superposées de récipients reliés les uns aux autres en partie supérieure de chacune desdites nappes,
ledit flan comprenant un volet central rectangulaire propre à couvrir les couvercles de la nappe supérieure de récipients,
ledit volet central étant muni latéralement de part et d'autre de deux rabats principaux identiques comprenant chacun une partie centrale sensiblement en forme de T dont la barre supérieure est reliée audit volet central par une ligne de pliage,
ladite partie centrale comprenant deux rabats secondaires identiques, sensiblement rectangulaires, s'étendant de part et d'autre, vers l'extérieur et à partir de la jambe centrale du T, parallèlement à ladite ligne de pliage, et étant pliables par rapport à ladite jambe et agencés pour pouvoir s'encastrer à l'état replié entre deux rangées parallèles de récipients appartenant à la nappe inférieure.To this end, the present invention essentially provides a blank in a sheet of cardboard or corrugated cardboard for the production of a structure for holding and gripping at least two superposed sheets of containers connected to each other in the upper part of each of said tablecloths,
said blank comprising a rectangular central flap suitable for covering the covers of the upper sheet of containers,
said central flap being provided laterally on either side with two identical main flaps each comprising a substantially T-shaped central part, the upper bar of which is connected to said central flap by a fold line,
said central part comprising two identical secondary flaps, substantially rectangular, extending on either side, outwards and from the central leg of the T, parallel to said fold line, and being foldable with respect to said leg and arranged to be able to fit in the folded state between two parallel rows of containers belonging to the lower ply.
Dans des modes de réalisation avantageux, on a de plus recours à l'une et/ou à l'autre des dispositions suivantes :
- la hauteur des rabats latéraux est égale ou sensiblement égale à la hauteur de deux nappes de récipients superposées ;
- chaque rabat secondaire comprend sur son bord dirigé vers l'extérieur du flan et parallèle à la ligne de pliage, au moins une languette de verrouillage dudit rabat secondaire avec le rabat situé en vis-à-vis, à l'ooposé du volet, lorsque la structure est formée.
- le flan comporte de plus deux rabats latéraux d'extrémité, sensiblement rectangulaires, reliés aux deux cotés restants du volet central, opposés l'un de l'autre, par des lignes de pliage ;
- les récipients d'une même nappe étant reliés entre eux via leurs collerettes supérieures, et lesdites collerettes étant agencées pour présenter un évidement central entre collerettes de chaque groupe de quatre récipients adjacents,
les rabats secondaires comportent sur leur bord respectif dirigé vers le volet central au moins une patte agencée pour venir s'encastrer dans un desdits évidements lorsque la structure est formée autour desdites nappes ; - chaque rabat secondaire comporte sur son bord dirigé vers le volet central, deux pattes agencées pour venir s'encastrer respectivement dans deux évidements entre collerettes, lesdits évidements étant alignés perpendiculairement à la ligne de pliage du rabat principal correspondant, et en ce que les pattes des deux rabats secondaires situés d'un côté du volet sont agencés pour coïncider avec les pattes des rabats secondaires situés en vis-à-vis de l'autre côté du volet, lorsque la structure est formée ;
- chaque rabat principal comporte au niveau de la ligne de pliage une languette obtenue par découpe du volet central, et au niveau du pied de la partie centrale en forme de T un évidement, de sorte que lorsque deux structures sont superposées, les languettes de la structure inférieure pénètrent dans les encoches de la structure supérieure ;
- chaque rabat principal comporte deux lignes de déchirement partant en biais vers l'extérieur de part et d'autre de la base de chacune desdites languettes ;
- le volet central comporte deux poignées de préhension obtenues par découpe dudit volet.
- the height of the side flaps is equal to or substantially equal to the height of two layers of stacked containers;
- each secondary flap comprises on its edge directed towards the outside of the blank and parallel to the fold line, at least one locking tab of said secondary flap with the flap located opposite, opposite the flap, when the structure is formed.
- the blank further comprises two lateral end flaps, substantially rectangular, connected to the two remaining sides of the central flap, opposite one another, by fold lines;
- the containers of the same ply being connected to each other via their upper flanges, and said flanges being arranged to present a central recess between flanges of each group of four adjacent containers,
the secondary flaps have, on their respective edges directed towards the central flap, at least one tab arranged to fit into one of said recesses when the structure is formed around said plies; - each secondary flap has on its edge directed towards the central flap, two tabs arranged to come to be respectively embedded in two recesses between flanges, said recesses being aligned perpendicular to the fold line of the corresponding main flap, and in that the tabs of the two secondary flaps located on one side of the flap are arranged to coincide with the tabs of the secondary flaps located opposite vis-à-vis the other side of the flap, when the structure is formed;
- each main flap has at the fold line a tongue obtained by cutting the central flap, and at the foot of the central T-shaped recess, so that when two structures are superimposed, the tabs of the structure lower penetrate into the notches of the upper structure;
- each main flap has two tear lines extending obliquely outward on either side of the base of each of said tabs;
- the central flap has two grips obtained by cutting said flap.
L'invention propose également un emballage, ou une structure de maintien et de préhension constitué à partir d'un flan tel que défini ci-dessus.The invention also provides a package, or a holding and gripping structure formed from a blank as defined above.

La figure 1 montre un flan 1, par exemple en carton ou carton ondulé, comprenant un volet central 2 de forme rectangulaire, qui pourrait bien entendu être un carré, destiné à contenir deux nappes de 12 pots de yaourts chacune.Figure 1 shows a blank 1, for example of cardboard or corrugated cardboard, comprising a
Le volet central 2 est muni de part et d'autre, latéralement, et symétriquement par rapport à un axe de symétrie central 3 du flan, de deux rabats principaux 4 identiques.The
Chaque rabat principal 4 comprend une partie centrale 5 sensiblement en forme de T dont la barre supérieure 6 est en forme de bande large et est reliée au volet 2, par exemple sur toute sa longueur par une ligne de pliage 7.Each
La jambe 8 du T est également formée par une bande large et comprend deux rabats secondaires identiques 9 s'étendant de part et d'autre, vers l'extérieur à partir de la jambe centrale.The leg 8 of the T is also formed by a wide strip and comprises two identical
Chaque rabat secondaire est de forme sensiblement rectangulaire et est relié à la jambe par une ligne de pliage 10, perpendiculaire à la ligne 7 lorsque le flan est à plat.Each secondary flap is of substantially rectangular shape and is connected to the leg by a
Chaque rabat secondaire comporte sur son bord 11 dirigé vers le volet central et parallèle à la ligne de pliage 7 en position à plat, deux pattes 12 sensiblement rigides, par exemple de forme triangulaire, et comportant à leurs bases, le long du bord 11, une petite encoche 13 qui va permettre un verrouillage de la patte dans l'évidement existant entre collerettes de pots de yaourts, comme on le verra ci-après lors du montage du flan sur les nappes de pots de yaourts.Each secondary flap has on its
L'espacement entre les pattes 12, et leur position sur le rabat secondaire est déterminé par les dimensions géométriques des pots à emballer, les pattes de rabats secondaires situées d'un côté 14 du volet 2 étant agencées pour coïncider avec les pattes des rabats secondaires situés en vis-à-vis de l'autre côté 15 du volet, pour rentrer dans les mêmes espacements lorsque la structure est fomée.The spacing between the
Les rabats secondaires comprennent également sur leur bord respectif 40 dirigé vers l'extérieur du flan et parallèle à la ligne de pliage 7, deux languettes 41 déchirables sur leur coté 42, et solidaires du rabat secondaire 9 par leur base 43.The secondary flaps also comprise, on their
Ces languettes sont par exemple situées à l'opposé des pattes 12 et constituent des moyens de verrouillage complémentaires des deux rabats secondaires opposés, situés de part et d'autre du volet, lorsque la structure est formée, par pliage ou torsion d'une languette d'un rabat sur la languette de l'autre rabat en vis-à-vis.These tongues are for example located opposite the
Dans le mode de réalisation plus particulièrement décrit ici, chaque rabat principal comporte symétriquement par rapport à l'axe 3, une languette 16 obtenue par découpe du volet central au niveau des lignes de pliage 7, et une encoche 17 au niveau du bord externe 18 de la jambe 8 du T, permettant un stockage emboîté de plusieurs emballages les uns sur les autres.In the embodiment more particularly described here, each main flap comprises, symmetrically with respect to the
Chaque rabat principal 4 comporte également deux lignes 18 de déchirement partant en biais vers l'extérieur à partir des extrémités 19 de la base de la languette 16, pour aboutir au coin 20 entre les bords perpendiculaires de la branche supérieure 6 du T et de sa jambe 8.Each
Une telle disposition permet de désolidariser entièrement le volet supérieur 2 des rabats secondaires 9, en permettant ainsi l'accès aisé aux pots de yaourts après déchirement de l'emballage.Such an arrangement makes it possible to completely separate the
Le volet 2 comporte également deux rabats d'extrémité 21 sensiblement rectangulaires reliés au volet par une ligne de pliage 22 et propre à être entièrement replié à l'intérieur de l'emballage contre la face inférieure du volet, pour améliorer sa solidité.The
La dimension transversale des volets est telle qu'elle n'empiète pas sur l'espace occupé par les poignées 23 découpées dans la partie centrale 24 du volet, symétriquement par rapport à l'axe 3.The transverse dimension of the flaps is such that it does not encroach on the space occupied by the
Les poignées en forme de U renversé sont découpées sur leur partie externe 25 et reliées au volet par des lignes de pliage 26 aux pieds du U.The handles in the shape of an inverted U are cut on their
Des petites découpes 27, enfonçables de façon connue en elle-même, permettent l'arrachage des poignées par un utilisateur.
Une bande de renforcement 28 transversale, selon l'axe 3 (en trait interrompu sur la figure 1), par exemple collée entre les poignées sur la face interne du flan, peut également être avantageusement prévue.A
Une découpe 29 est prévue au bord du volet 2 sur une ligne de pliage 22, à un emplacement permettant de lire ultérieurement la date de péremption des yaourts.A
On a représenté sur la figure 2 un emballage 30 selon le mode de réalisation de l'invention plus particulièrement décrit ici, appliqué à deux nappes 31 et 31' de pots de yaourts 32 reliés entre eux en partie supérieure de chaque nappe, via leur collerette 34.FIG. 2 shows a
L'emballage 30 est obtenu à partir du flan 1 de la figure 1, les mêmes parties du flan constituant l'emballage étant donc désignées par les mêmes numéros de référence.The
On va maintenant décrire le montage de l'emballage 30, en faisant plus particulièrement référence aux figures 3 et 4.We will now describe the mounting of the
Le volet 2 est tout d'abord placé sur les couvercles 35 des pots de la nappe supérieure 31.The
Les collerettes 34 des pots présentant par ailleurs un évidement central 36 à la jonction entre collerettes de quatre pots de yaourts adjacents, on va utiliser cette particularité des nappes des produits à emballer pour venir y verrouiller les pattes 12 des rabats secondaires.The
Pour ce faire, une fois le volet central 2 posé sur les couvercles 35, les nappes 31 et 31'de pots de yaourts étant par ailleurs maintenus à la verticale, l'une au-dessus de l'autre, on commence à replier les rabats principaux autour de la ligne de pliage 7 qui est en contact ou sensiblement en contact avec le bord externe 37 des collerettes des pots d'extrémité de la nappe supérieure, bord qui sert d'appui, selon la flèche 38 (voir figure 4).To do this, once the
Cette opération peut être effectuée manuellement ou automatiquement. Elle est faite en même temps de part et d'autre.This can be done manually or automatically. It is done at the same time on both sides.
Simultanément au commencement du repliage des rabats principaux 4, on replie vers l'extérieur les rabats secondaires 9, de façon à les rendre perpendiculaires à la partie 8, et on les fait pénétrer entre les deux rangées de pots situées en vis-à-vis (les lignes de pliage 10 étant placées en conséquence), en donnant un léger pli 39 à la jambe du T, vers l'extérieur de l'emballage pour faciliter cette pénétration.Simultaneously with the beginning of the folding of the
Ensuite on vient encliquer les pattes 12 dans les évidements 36 d'un premier jeu de rabats secondaires, puis du jeu en vis-à-vis, la petite encoche verrouillant le rabat secondaire en position, et en opposition d'un jeu à l'autre, la rigidité de l'ensemble étant notamment obtenue par la superposition des pattes appartenant à 2 rabats différents, par superposition et encliquage dans le même évidement.Then the
